THE THUNDEROUS RAIN that poured down on the Bulfinch Tent was no match for the applause of attendees at the annual Patient Care Services’ (PCS) “One Celebration of Many Stars” Awards Ceremony. The standing-room-only crowd simply cheered louder when each of the 12 recipients were recognized.

THE THUNDEROUS RAIN that poured down on the Bulfinch Tent was no match for the applause of attendees at the annual Patient Care Services’ (PCS) “One Celebration of Many Stars” Awards Ceremony. The standing-room-only crowd simply cheered louder when each of the 12 recipients were recognized.

“The diversity and number of awards we give today offers the opportunity for clinical and support staff to be acknowledged for qualities such as advocacy, caring, compassion, leadership, coaching, creativity, flexibility and collaboration,” said Jeanette Ives Erickson, RN, DNP, senior vice president for Patient Care and chief nurse. “These are qualities that enhance and empower our staff in providing the highest quality patient care.”

More than 100 PCS employees were nominated for the seven annual awards. Ives Erickson – along with Gaurdia Banister, RN, PhD, executive director of The Institute for Patient Care – commended them for their “compassion, commitment, caring and contributions.”
